Tailgate lift support for Ram trucks

This gas-strut kit fits Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models from 2009 through 2018. It controls the tailgate drop rate so the gate opens slowly and safely without slamming. The set includes the shock, mounting hardware and the tools required for installation.

Threaded M6x1.0 ball stud with 11 mm hole

The kit uses an M6x1.0 thread size and an 11 mm hole diameter on the ball mount. These two dimensions determine whether the hardware matches the factory mounting points on the truck. Verify both figures against the vehicle before fitting.

Bolts on with supplied wrenches, no drilling needed

Installation uses the included hex wrench, T45 Torx wrench and blind-nut tool set, so no extra tools or drilling are required. The package provides one shock, one ball mount plate, one ball mount and the fasteners to complete the job. The assembly frees your hands when opening the tailgate and protects cargo from sudden drops.

Questions about this item

How does the 9.25-inch length affect daily tailgate use?

The 9.25-inch compressed length replaces the factory strut directly, so the tailgate opens at the same height and angle without modification.

What does the M6x1.0 thread size mean for installation?

The M6x1.0 threads match the factory mounting points on 2009-2018 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 models, allowing bolt-on fitment with the included hardware.

Will the 11mm hole diameter line up with my existing brackets?

Yes, the 11mm hole diameter matches the OEM ball-stud size on 2009-2018 Ram trucks, so the supplied ball mount plate bolts straight to the tailgate and body.
